Antecedents Of The First Pan-American Scientific Congress.
The first impulse to the holding of these scientific congresses was given by the Argentine Scientific Society of Buenos Aires. In 1896 this society, in order to celebrate its twenty-fifth anniversary, decided to convene a Latin-American scientific congress.
This congress assembled in Buenos Aires on the 10th of April, 1898, and adjourned on the 20th day of the same month. Most of the Latin-American countries were represented.
